My ex almost died after an operation years ago. If I hadn't been able to be present in the ICU to question his treatment and been told by a family member in the medical field that there was a hospital advocate and I should reach out to them, I think his outcome would have been quite different. But even that protocol was removed during Covid. I feel blessed to have learned this lesson year before and was skeptical from the beginning.

The need for patients to have an advocate present at all times while hospitalized far proceeds covid. By decades.
